In the book, A Whole New Mind, author Daniel Pink discusses the stimulation of each hemisphere of the brain during everyday life activities. However due to the evolving world, the once knowledgeable left hemisphere of the brain is slowing today’s humans down. In this society, humans who stimulate and use their right hemisphere of the brain will rule the future.…
The first step would be the stimulation whether it be air noises, water noises, music or someone coughing. The sound then travel to the outer ear where it is the reflected into the middle ear where it is amplified into the inner ear. The sound is then transferred through the viscous fluid in the cochlea. Inside the cochlea are tubes that are filled with fluid and hair cells. The hair cells are moved by the sound waves and become receptors for the primary auditory cortex. The cortex then processes the sounds into an interpretation. (University of Phoenix,…

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the correlational method as a means for examining the relationship between functions of the left and right hemispheres. I will compare the performance of people with intact brains with the performance of so-called split-brain patients. In many ways, the brains of these two groups are very similar. 1A. The brainstem of a normal brain is located in lower back of the brain which connects the cerebellum with the spinal cord. There is no difference between normal brainstem and a split –brain brainstem. Reason is because there is not physical cut done on the brainstem. 1B. The hippocampus is located in the limbic system structure. It is involved making, organizing and storing memories. There is no difference between a split-brain hippocampus and a normal brain hippocampus. The cut done on the corpus callosum will not affect the hippocampus because the cut would not be deep enough. 1C. The cerebral cortex of the normal brain is different from a split-brain cerebral cortex because it has not been severed. In a split-brain cerebral cortex the two…

One brain two sides; the left brain analysis breaking information into parts about 95% of people use the left brain to speak, write, and understand. This includes time sense and rhythm. The right side of the brain processes information by using nonverbal responses such as, pointing at objects, simple language comprehension and recognition of pattern. Lobes of the cerebral cortex are larger fissures on the surface of the cortex. The cerebral cortex is responsible for reasoning planning, mental abiliites, sense of self and motor control. This area contains mirror neurons, which becomes active when you observe someone else and then you carried out the same action.…
In the reading we examined and debunked the myth of some people being left- brained and others being right- brained. They explain that the laterality of function means that one or the other hemisphere of the brain can perform or process certain mental tasks better than the other side. This is only true to those who have undergone a “ split brain” operation. The split brain phenomenon refers to a surgical processor that involves surgeons cut the corpus callosum that connects the left and right hemisphere. This surgery is done for patients who suffer severe epilepsy. These split brain patients reveal that the information it processed and coordinated actions by each side of the body could not be unified.They found that the left hemisphere quickly processes literal interpretations, such as speech, grammar, and word generation. While the right hemisphere helps quickly processes nonlinguistic functions, such as intonation, general sense of space, and…
The frontal lobe is in charge of planning, problem solving, personality organizing, selective attention, and a variety of other “higher cognitive functions” (Johnson Jr., 2009). The temporal lobe consists of two sections, one on each side of the brain. The temporal love controls a person’s ability to tell different smells and also different sounds and they also are involved with sorting new information. The right temporal lobe is involved with the visual memory and the left temporal lobe is involved with the verbal…
You do not have to become an expert on the brain to be a good dementia health care worker. However, having a basic awareness of the brain’s functioning may help you to understand some of the difficulties a person with dementia is experiencing. It can also help to explain some of the behaviours you may find challenging and difficult to comprehend.…
The cerebral hemispheres are very similar in appearance, but they differ significantly in their structure. One of the best known differences between the two structures is motor control; the right hemisphere controls the left half of the body and the left hemisphere controls the right side of the body. These motor control differences were discovered mainly through the examination of paralysis caused by strokes or other damage to a specific hemisphere.…
Both House and his split brain patient, have different views about the right hemisphere of the brain. When the split brain patients file was being reviewed by House and his team, House stated that the left brain had ‘language, arithmetic, and…

The biggest part of the brain is cerebrum. The cerebrum is the thinking part of the brain and it controls the voluntary muscles, the ones that move when you want them to. When one is thinking hard, trying to solve a math problem or trying to figure out a video game, one is using the cerebrum. (Kidshealth, n.d.) The cerebrum is made up two sides, the left and right hemispheres. The right half of the cerebrum controls the left side of the body and the left side controls the right side. These two are connected by long neuron branches called the Corpus Callosum. Each hemisphere has four lobes; The frontal lobe is associated with reasoning, planning, movement, emotions and problem solving. The parietal lobe is associated with tactile sensory information such as pressure, touch, and pain. The temporal lobe is associated with the…
A brain injury can have different effects, such as medical, physical, cognitive (mental), emotional and behavioral. Behavioral problems are usually the most hard to deal with because they can have effects on their success in rehab, but also their social relationships, marriage problems, family problems, educational goals, safety and their ability to live a happy and free life. Behavioral problems can range from personality changes to long-term difficulties controlling their emotions, failure to block or manage drive and impulses and having control over themselves. In my report I will inform you on people with brain injuries, their families, and caregivers about the kinds of behavioral problems they may encounter and offer ways to confront those problems.…
